WSEN (AM 1050) is a radio station serving Baldwinsville in the Syracuse, New York metropolitan area. WSEN is owned by Leatherstocking Media Group.

History

WSEN began operations on February 25, 1959 and was licensed by Century Radio Corp. Originally a current hits station it changed to Country in 1962 and was the first country station "north of the Mason-Dixon line." In 1967 sister station WSEN-FM (now WOLF-FM) began operations as a full-time country outlet, thus complimenting the A.M.. Century Radio sold the stations in 1974 and flipped to its current format in 1986.

2000s

WSEN was owned by Buckley Broadcasting, who simulcast the current oldies format on both the AM and FM, during much of the 2000s until being sold in 2008 to its current ownership.

2010s

2011

WSEN split from simulcasting WSEN-FM in 2011; this came as part of a national trend for oldies outlets transitioning to classic hits; at the time, WSEN-AM-FM was airing 1960s' and 1970s' music. As part of the split, WSEN (AM) became a "true oldies" outlet and picked up the 1960s' (and added 1950s') music while WSEN-FM shifted to classic hits and added 1980s' music to its catalog.

2016: Off-air

WSEN is currently off the air. The reason is unknown .
